for radio - stereo spread - an A/B comparison

Post by funsongs » Wed Aug 28, 2024 3:31 pm

Greetings PRODUCERS...
would like some independent EARS' opinions - same song, different mix approach
(Bluegrass-Gospel).

A) acoustic guitars spread wide, the 'ear-candy' fiddle & banjo in closer (10 & 2, respectively);

OR:

B) banjo & fiddle spread wide, acoustic guitars in the closer 10 & 2 position:

in development: yet to be added - Dobro, different lead vocal with 3 or 4 part harmonies.

In advance - thank you for taking time to listen to both, and offer your preference.
Cheers!

I think spreading the lead instruments out to the side makes more sense since the lead vox are in the middle.

Thanks Ethan - maybe that's why I hear other radio mixes for Bluegrass 'defaulting', sorta, to that format.
I was liking the other equally; but not all the pieces are there yet.

Cheers.
